Ingredients

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 ¼ pounds ground turkey breast
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 cups marinara sauce
2 cups baby spinach leaves
4 zucchini, cut into noodle-shape strands

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey breast, green pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until turkey is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir marinara sauce and baby spinach into the turkey mixture; cook and stir until marinara sauce is warm through, about 3 minutes.
Stir zucchini noodles into the sauce with tongs; cook and stir until the zucchini is slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

Recipe Tips

I use an organic, no salt added, low-sugar marinara sauce.

Use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to make the zucchini noodles.
